Pay attention to the Light. When you are not dispatching rats and avoiding bombs in the backyard. The author of "Under the Tuscan Sun" includes careful, touchable descriptions of the light in Tuscany. I started to pay attention to the light around here this morning. 7:35 am light is way different than 5:05 am.

I haven't checked the rat traps this morning. Too chicken.
I'll just turn up Hanson on the CD player and go brush my teeth. Have to go to work now. And then walk my lovely dog. And think about things. GOOD THINGS. I Sure do have A LOT Of lovely people in my life that I care about. Deeply. Some of them have shoes to share.
